If you actually were right, it would mean that Russians are more redeemable than Israelis, because if Israel is a democracy, then the majority are genocidal maniacs, as opposed to being a subjects to a genocidal government.
I live in Russia, so very subjective, but this is true. There’s no support, but there’s nothing more to say, it all has been discussed 2 years ago.
Israelis I mostly meet on the Web, so it would seem uncertain due to all the bots and loud morons, but sadly my relatives there seem to be in denial of reality too.
EDIT: I remember somebody saying in my childhood that Zhirinovsky etc are useful to show how this kind of (genocidal/jingoist/anti-intellectualist/…) politicians in a democracy looks as opposed to power gained non-democratically.
